Cahya Looking for Light
The Light that is not shining

"Ayy, why are you so willing to marry her? while I've been waiting to marry you for so long!" shouts Devan

Cahya still did not budge and did not answer anything.

"I've been waiting for you since you were SMK, and you've always rejected me, but now that you're getting married to her so quickly, that baby you've been with is mine, but why are you married to someone else?!"

Devan held Cahya's hand

"Back Ayy, come back to me, I'm wrong, I'll fix it, I beg you, come back to me"

Devan's plea sounded heartbreaking, but Cahya remained unmoved, and she left with Habib.

Little Cahya's life

When he was 3 years old Cahya was brought to his parents to Jambi, there was not until a year he was often sick, and often had an accident.

One day he was playing with his peers in an empty pool, he was hit by a huge shard, his leg was injured and had to be bandaged.

"Dad, why do ayya always sick?, do we take it back to Java, let's go for treatment there?" said her mama

"Don't take care of it here first"

"But this is a kid why do we keep this up?"

"We just have to watch over him" replied Cahya's father

At his peak he had severe smallpox to the eye, his eyes were very difficult to open, at that time his life was almost not helped.

After he was hospitalized for some time he was finally taken home when he had not fully recovered.

"Is it really okay?, can't it be?"

"You know how else, we've done all sorts of things, can't you see it being tormented every day in the hospital?"

"Ma, I'm awake" cried cahya, the morning when he was awake but could not open his eyes because the traces of pox had not healed completely.

"Yes wait a minute, be patient, mama again ready warm water to compress your eyes"

After many events that happened to him, until finally when he was 4 years old he was taken to where he was born, in Central Java, precisely in a small village in Semarang.

Cahya is brought to where she was born in the hope that she will always be healthy, she has to stay with her grandparents so that she is healthy, while both her parents return to the overseas in Jambi.

A little talk about the myth of the Javanese, he said that if a child is too confused with someone he will get sick, according to those who make Cahya sick because of her grandmother who often miss her.

At the beginning he lived in the village, no problem for him, grandparents who love him and uncles and aunts who also love him.

Once while playing with a friend, there was a friend who insulted him,

"You're ugly, when your mama is beautiful, your mama is white but you're black"

It was the first insult he heard when he was only 7 years old.

Not only his friends even adults often insulted his physique, some even gave the nickname "Round Boy" because he was fat, or some called him "Chicken Cemani" because his skin is black.

Bullyan and the insults he continued to receive made him humble.

He was very sad for countless times when he cried because of the bullyan and insults that were always on him.

" Is it my will to be born like this?" that's what he always said in his every cry.

He never showed sadness because of the insults and insults, he also never complained to anyone, because indeed if he complained to whomever, he was far from his parents.

The sadness seemed endless, when he wanted to enter First High School, his parents decided to divorce.

"Ayy, now mom and sister will stay with you at grandfather's house" said his mother

Good news as well as bad news, but in fact, they were only together for a while, because whatever the power, a mother had to raise her two children alone, because after divorce her father immediately married again.

Sadness is not over yet, she must be abandoned by her grandmother for ever, grandmother who loved her, became a substitute for her mother when she was left alone, now leaving her.

Time continued to pass until one day it was decided her mother had to migrate to Bandung to work, because the needs were getting bigger while Cahya's father did not help the cost to take care of the children.

Cahya who was usually left not too heavy but this time she had to take care of her sister as well, because her sister was not taken by her mother.

Cahya has completed her First Middle School, there is a new problem, in the village High School is still very rare and if there is, it is very far away, so her grandfather proposed to Cahya to attend school in Bandung, Bandung, follow her mama wander.

Cahya's dilemma, because if she wanders means she has to leave her sister, but her grandfather assures her that grandfather is still strong enough to take care of his sister.

"Ayya, you just go to school in Bandung with your mama, because if here, the distance of the school is very far and it will add new problems, you kasian on his journey"

"But sister how's the cake?"

"Grandfather is still strong, you take it easy"

Finally Cahya went to school in Bandung, where she lived with her mother, in a multi-storey house although not too big, her mother contracted a house there.

Cahya visits her sister every school holiday or Eid, until unexpectedly, she meets her childhood friend.
